WASHINGTON – Hundreds gathered on Tuesday morning to remember a Virginia teenager whose body was found Oct. 8 after he’d been missing for a week.

The memorial service for 17-year-old Bryan Glenn was held at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Annandale, Va.

Glenn, a Woodson High School senior, was reported missing on Oct. 1. He did not attend classes that day and was not seen since. Search teams found his body on a City of Fairfax park trail about a quarter-mile from his car.

Police have not yet indicated a cause of death.

Hundreds of classmates, friends and teachers mourned Glenn on Tuesday, many in uniform — friends of Glenn’s father, who works at the Pentagon.

The reverend who spoke said Glenn had so much promise, yet also had accomplished so much in his life.
